וַיֵּלֶךְ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְצָא אֶת־יְהוֹנָדָב בֶּן־רֵכָב לִקְרָאתוֹ וַֽיְבָרְכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲיֵשׁ אֶת־לְבָבְךָ יָשָׁר כַּאֲשֶׁר לְבָבִי עִם־לְבָבֶךָ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹנָדָב יֵשׁ וָיֵשׁ תְּנָה אֶת־יָדֶךָ וַיִּתֵּן יָדוֹ וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ אֵלָיו אֶל־הַמֶּרְכָּבָֽה׃
And when he was departed from there, he came across Yehonadav the son of Rekhav coming to meet him: and he greeted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Yehonadav answered, It is. If it be, said Yehu, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

Rashi
היש את לבבך ישר. ושלם מה שאני עושה, כאשר לבבי שלם עם לבבך:
“Is your heart upright.” Wholehearted in what I am doing, as I am wholeheartedly with your heart?
ויאמר יהונדב יש ויש תנה את ידך. ואחוז בה, והעלני אליך אל המרכבה:
And Yehonodov said, “It sure is, give me your hand.” And hold it and take me up to you, to the chariot.7I.e., to Yeihu’s chariot. Alternatively, “Give me your hand” was spoken by Yeihu who then pulled Yehonodov up into his chariot.—Radak Or, he asked for a handshake as a gesture to confirm their amicable relationship.—Metzudas Dovid
וַיֹּאמֶר לְכָה אִתִּי וּרְאֵה בְּקִנְאָתִי לַיהֹוָה וַיַּרְכִּבוּ אֹתוֹ בְּרִכְבּֽוֹ׃
And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot.
